1971 Map of Olaf Knolls

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Olaf Knolls rises above a dramatic landscape in northwestern Arizona, defined by sharp elevation shifts and seasonal watercourses. This early 1970s survey captures the intersection of the Grand Wash Cliffs and the broad Grand Gulch Bench, showing a remote region where life is shaped by the scarcity of water. The presence of the Upper Well indicates the critical infrastructure required for ranching or travel in this arid territory. The drainage system is dominated by the Grand Wash, which is fed by complex topographical features like Squaw Canyon and Tank Canyon. This map serves as a vital record of the Mohave County backcountry before modern shifts in land use, documenting the precise landforms and few named water sources that dictated movement across the high desert.
